The excitement of travel is undeniable: tasting new cuisines, taking in incredible sights, waiting on a plastic airport chair in layover purgatory. Well, maybe not so much the last one.

Get a look at these extravagant lounges that make those crappy kiosk sandwiches and people talking too loud on their phones seem like they're a whole world away. Bon voyage.
